Well, this morning I'll be picking up almost the entire Giant man wave as the result of a trade. I'm curious to see which Giant Man parts each figure has. I already got Sabretooth which comes with Giant Man's left foot. I'm getting the entirety of the rest of the wave except for Thor. Now from what I understand one of the variants has an essential piece of Giant Man. Not sure if it's Sentry or Wolverine. Guess I'll find that out later, and find out which piece has the duplicate Giant Man part.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends where it goes, what your connection speed is and maybe whether you're a hyperwaste member or not.

Considering how much a Hyperspace membership costs, and that cost relative to what this piece is fetching on ePay, it would be an absolute BARGAIN to get the Hyperspace membership and pay $50 or whatever for the bust.

I don't like the fact that Dustin is using the front page of RS to ask for his personal needs:

Come on, that's what the forums are for.

Some of the staff at Yakface has been doing the same thing. It certainly does have the effect of sullying their main page.

Question, kind of related. Are the problems the gas companies crying about any different than the problems that the steel companies were crying about back in the early 60's? Anyone remember? The steel companies were banding together and getting ready to raise rates due to supply issues until Kennedy stepped in and forced them to hold steady. Kennedy knew raising rates would kill the economy while the steel industry claimed they would go out of business. Well, the steel industry just had to take a profit hit, but they're still around.

Actually, the US steel industry isn't what it was. It took a major hit in the 70's, especially in western PA and the midwest. Now the US is having to compete mightily with Japanese steel. There was actually quite the trade dispute about it for a while, with the US claiming that the Japanese were trying to flood the US market with Japanese steel.
